]]> Comment on Risk of suicide in young children by Nick's Mom http://commitmenttoliving.com/2007/06/12/risk-of-suicide-in-young-children/#comment-9043 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 18:24:15 +0000 http://riskassessment.wordpress.com/2007/06/12/risk-of-suicide-in-young-children/#comment-9043 Mrs T Bridle….
I too have experienced that, except my son was a few months shy of being 7 years old. He was told from a bully at school he should kill himself. That particular bully has really done a number on my son who is now 9 almost 10 and as of yesterday started to write his first “suicide note”. Thankfully we have a good support system although it may not sound like it. His pediatrician, psychologist, teachers and other school personnel are all very supportive of not only him but our whole family. Definitely take your son seriously, mine is still alive today because I did!

I am glad you have made an appointment. Parents who listen and involve others to help can go a long way. Be patient. I hope you and your son find relief. My best, Tony

He has never said anything to this effect ever. He also said it was a feeling he couldn”t control and he didn’t like. He wanted it to go away. I am so scared for him and have made an appointment for him to see a child counsellor. I do not understand where this has come from. I am taking it very seriously.

Any help or understanding would be much appreciated

A loving mummy
